The following from the Austin Re
Vrille is reproduced. being a common
seuSe view OF the situation, aud the
views OF the INDEPENDENT as frequently
expressed in these columns.
Many people here have adopted the
cnstnm II sending away for THEN
Lr cary supplies, dry goods, etc, paving
"a sh down to these outside firms, while
Try get credit. trust aud accommodation
from the home merchants, who take
chances in carrying them over. Yet
this faith. which the merchants hold in
the hoLesty OF their customers, is often
repaid by their sending to California for
their supplies. There is no BUSINESS or
fairness in such dealing. What does
one tnin in sending awayI While he
purchases u few commodities che1per,
in others he about mak"s IA stand of,
and in settling mp the freight bill on his
goods, he does not in the end make
much Of n bargain. the price list is
read but the freight bill il not reckoncd
in. Another point which deserves men.
ton, the merchant, in receiving n heavy
cargo Of goods md supplies, can get
lower rates than the small shipper which
enables tne merchant to quote popular
prices.
The person sending abroad for the
necessaries Of life is throwing that
q nOuut OF money out OF the community,
sud from which we never receive my
benefit. II this custom is general, there
wculd be no business houses here to.
day. Money spent nj home stays there,
and returns to you in other channels.
The merchant deserves your patronage
bscanse he helps support your public
schools, county and other enterprises
and while you help him, he in turn is
enabled to invest his money here. that
gives employment 10 labor. You get no
returns OF help from outside firms but
your goods. then why give them the
profit OF your toll. and cripple the bust
ness firms Of your town. who pny the
greater portion Of the taxes aud donates
literally for The support OF the unfortu-
mater Patrouize your home merchants,
support the home enterprises. and in
tue end you will receive greater fnvors.
It Is 10y mutual help that citizens make II
town prosperous. The good resulting
from such II protective course mus. be

The only merit possessed by Morrow
